Add Some Seasonal Fun to Dinnertime + Giveaway

February 15, 2014 By: amyswandering1 Comment

My family loves to put together fun dinners for each holiday! We plan out the menu, decorate with a bit of whimsy, and sometimes invite friends over to join in the celebration.

You don’t have to spend a lot of money or time on your festive meal. Dollar Tree and Target’s Dollar Spot are great places to pick up table scatter or confetti, paper plates & napkins, and some festive decor like garlands and streamers.

We hang swirly cutouts from our chandelier

I will use St.Patrick’s Day to give you an idea of what one of our seasonal dinners looks like. Green is the name of the game! It is a minor holiday to some, but Hubby and I lived in Dublin for a year before we got married and we make a big deal out of it.

Here are some ideas to create a festive atmosphere:

Make a Leprechaun Trap
Cover the table with a shamrock tablecloth
Grow some Shamrocks (best to start by the end of February)
Turn a green plastic derby hat upside down and use it for a bread basket
Glue together some Paper Shamrocks for a centerpiece
Do some St. Patrick’s Day Mad Libs
Wear green (of course!)

We have the same meal every year: Beef in Guinness, Cabbage and Bacon, Boiled Potatoes, and Irish Brown Bread. After dinner, we have tea with imported biscuits (cookies) and sweets (candy) that we buy in the British foods section at the grocery store. We eat these while having a rousing sing-along with our High Kings DVD.

To start off your St.Patrick’s Day dinner tradition, I would love to give one of you this beautiful Irish Shamrock Table Runner.

To enter, just click on that giveaway button below and fill in your name and email. There are additional options if you would like more chances to win. The giveaway is open to US residents only and ends 2/23/14.

Along with other members of the Inspired Bloggers Network, I want to encourage your family to eat together and make dinner fun! Be sure to enter the Inspired Family Dinners Giveaway for a chance to win an $800 All-Clad Cookbook Set and a $5 Dinners Cookbook Basket.

Growing Your Blog While Managing Your Home Review & Giveaway

January 16, 2014 By: amyswandering1 Comment

Growing Your Blog Review

I started this blog years ago, when the bloggy world was just a little community of people who had a few things in common. There was no following anyone on Pinterest, or making graphics for every post on Picmonkey. As the internet gained speed, and blogging became commonplace, I’ve had to take a crash course to keep up with all the changes.

A blog can be a blessing for a family or it can become a curse. It is very easy to pour hours into writing, editing, creating, and promoting. Balancing blog and home is a challenge. Jacinda from Growing Home has launched an ebook this week that will help create a plan and save you from wasting time hunting for the info you need to kickstart your blog.Her blog has grown ten times in size and now generates a five figure income annually.

Growing Your Blog While Managing Your Home offers a wealth of information to help you set priorities and manage your time. The ebook is divided into four parts:

Part 1: Creating a Vision and Maintaining a Schedule starts with questioning whether blogging is right for you. It will help you set priorities and manage your time online and in the home.

Part 2: Content and Design covers a long list of tips for creating a quality site that is going to draw and keep a reader’s attention.

Part 3: Growth and Monetization walks you through ways to grow your numbers and monetize your blog.

Part 4: Logistics and Legalities dives into the not-so-fun part of blogging, like dealing with ugly comments or people who steal your content. This is my favorite section because Jacinda reminds us that we are to react softly because the name of Christ is at stake. Such a powerful and important reminder!

You can see the entire Table of Contents HERE.

Growing Your Blog While Managing Your Home is available in PDF or Kindle format for a launch-week sale price of only $3.99 through January 18th! (reg. price is $7.99)

Would you like to enter the giveaway but don’t want to wait to get started on your blog? Jacinda will graciously refund your purchase cost if you win, so go ahead and buy it while it’s on sale!

I am giving away a copy of Growing Your Blog While Managing Your Home in your choice of PDF or Kindle. Giveaway is open to all countries and ends Monday, January 20th.

I received a free copy for the purpose of giving my honest review. This post contains my affiliate link. I signed up as an affiliate because I believe this is a product that will bless my readers. Thank you for supporting my site through your purchase!
